Tessa’s POV
Seth’s sudden inquiry about Erin catches me completely off guard, and a mixture of hope and apprehension swirls within me.
Could this be the opportunity I’ve been waiting for? He did seem engrossed at the dinner table when he seen how Leo had treated. her… perhaps there could be a minuscule chance that he thinks it’s wrong too? (1)
“Y–Yeah, she’s a real good friend of m–mine… always has been!” I respond cautiously, with my gaze locked onto Seth, searching for any sign of insight into where he was going with all of this.
Seth then makes a move, pushing himself off from the door frame before approaching the nearby counter to take a seat.
He gestures for me to sit down with him next, as I gulp slightly before finding my way over to the tall stool opposite him.
He leans forward, elbows perked up on the countertop before sighing heavily – his eyes fixed on my own as he pauses to choose his next words.
“I’m not much of a dater to be honest with you Tessa… I always found you humans to be quite desperate for our attention whenever we had visited the centres on past judgement days.” Seth chuckles and shakes his head, as I nod once, trying not to be offended by his honest words.
mean, judging by how most of the other girls in my age group would act I could understand why he would gain such an opinion after all, we were trained most of our lives to please the male wolves… so did that, in fact, make us somewhat desperate?
“But between you and I… I actually believe that maybe I’ve missed out this year on bagging myself a good one…” Seth leans forward slightly, lowering his tone, as my eyes squint a little in confusion as instinctively lean back.
Is he coming on to me? Or is he still talking about Erin? He’s being very cryptic that it’s hard to tell…
But I hope it’s the latter because I don’t wish to be caught up in any unnecessary drama during my time here!
With that, as though sensing my surge of panic, he scoffs a little and leans back once again. “Forgive me… I don’t mean you… Kane would kill me if he even got that impression!” He chuckles once more, allowing some air back in to the room with his reassurance as I force back a smile of relief.
Ok well… does that mean he’s still talking about Erin?
“Look, from what I’ve seen, Tessa, there’s obviously something not right about your little friend’s situation. It’s a real s shame that she’s been caught up with somebody like Leo…” Seth talks on, as I blink profusely to digest his words.
“Between you and I, males like him shouldn’t even be allowed to attend judgement days! He’s nothing but a sleaze who sleeps around!” Seth adds, as my heart sinks a little more when hearing just how awful Leo certainly was and that’s in the opinion of
another male too!
I suddenly felt that this conversation between us both wasn’t actually real… was Seth really on our side here?
Is he deliberately over sharing his feelings with me to see what I’ll say back? Maybe Kane has put him up to this to see if I will continue to beg for Erin to be saved? Who knows… but I must be careful with this regardless of whether he was being totally genuine or not…
“Yes… b–but it’s only a trial period… isn’t it?” I add, in hopes that something would magically change after the two weeks of us living here.
1/2
If we are lucky, maybe Leo win just get fed up with Brin and will move on to his next victim ultimately not being able to settle down with anyone in the end,
Perhaps some sex workers would suit a man like him best? Give him what he wants and take his money without the attached baggage?
All I know is that Erin is far too good for the likes of a man like him, and that’s saying something considering that I’ve only met
him once!
“Won’t be a trial for long. Before you know it he will be spitting out ini Leo’s…” Seth states, his tone crisp as my eyes widen and
O my stomach churns at the thought.
I can’t hide the tears that build from his blunt statement, as I blink them back to avoid them spilling. Erin doesn’t deserve this life… not with him!

Seth seems to take notice of my reaction, squinting a little before straightening himself up and clearing his throat.
